return2ozmaGov. Gavin Newsom's campaign donor says his Panera Bread restaurants will follow new minimum wage law after backlash
Kiryu“California’s statewide minimum wage is $16 per hour. Newsom signed a law last year that says fast food restaurants that are part of a chain with at least 60 locations nationally must pay their workers at least $20 per hour beginning April 1. But the law does not apply to restaurants that have their own bakeries to make and sell bread as a stand-alone menu item.”
Is there a defendable explanation as to why making your own bread means minimum wage laws cannot be applied to businesses that otherwise meet these requirements?
givesomefucksYeah…
He’s a neoliberal and gets donations from Panera…
Cali should be full of progressives. But there’s lots of money in being an incumbent in a seat the other party can’t win.
Hell, Pelosi and AIPAC just got another I to the Senate. He’ll keep taking donor money well after Pelosi is buried, and preventing a candidate that agrees with Cali voters from taking that seat for decades.
It can’t change till we get them out of power in the Dem party, but we can’t compete with their do ors money in a primary.
Hell, these days were lucky if we get a primary.
Shit needs to change while it’s still able to change
We need money out of politics.
Money is always been and will always be the problem.
The explanation:
Flynn has been a generous donor to Newsom’s political campaigns, including contributing $100,000 to fight a failed recall effort against the governor. Bloomberg reported that the two men attended the same high school. Flynn also acquired a resort managed by Newsom’s hospitality business in 2014, but terminated the management contract about a year after the purchase, according to the news outlet.
Newsom's office calls allegations about Panera Bread franchisee "absurd," says company is not exempt from law
Gov. Gavin Newsom's Office called a Bloomberg News story that alleged he exempted bakeries from the state's fast food wage law to benefit a political donor who owns Panera Bread locations "absurd" and said the restaurant is not exempted from the policy.
That is unfortunate. Absolute red meat for both-sides are bad politics.
Snot FlickermanBecause unfortunately, both sides are bad and one side is leaning hard on the other side being so off-the-rails they’re openly ranting about how badly they want to lock up minorities.
If you don’t see how the absolute deranged criminality of the right is helping change expectations about what corruption is, you’re naive.
Literally, your post proves it, you’re more concerned with how it will affect people who see criminality and corruption on both sides, instead of admitting “Yeah, both sides do corrupt shit, but it’s firmly clear one side is off the rails and readily wants to hurt people.” It’s really easy to not have to offer anything of substance to your constituents if all you have to say is “The other guys literally want to kill you” and you’re being honest when you say it.
Your comment is literally an example of letting it slide. “That is unfortunate.” No, its grifting and accepting bribery to carve out an exception for your fucking buddy, something you’d probably be screaming fucking bloody murder about if it was a Republican doing it. Guess what, we can cry bloody murder about both and not act like it’s time to just let corruption happen because it isn’t as bad as the other sides corruption.
What a joke.
Well, both sides are bad. It’s just that one side is way, way worse.
Not even close.
UnderpantsWeevilAbsolute red meat for both-sides-are-bad politics.
Not exactly a secret that local economic interests dictate policies to career climbers in the political scene. This isn’t even a “both sides” thing. Its a “how does a democracy actually work in practice” thing. The Whigs operate like this. The UK Tories and Labour operate like this. The German Greens and the Spanish People’s Party operate like this. Its the baseline of liberal democracy the world over.
Both sides are bad.
They’re just looking out for different rich people.
people gonna find out the hard way the libertarian party is funded by psychos. The democrats are the best that the current voting system can deliver and we should make more efforts to implement an alaska style top 4 RCV system in the future. For every single seat election
Just saying, I never mentioned libertarians.
Ranked-choice voting would be nice, but democrats don’t support it because they’re bad people.
Dark Arc…wikipedia.org/…/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_Unit…
Tell me, which states have ranked choice voting and which states are run by the “bad people”?
We’re talking about California here
The libertarian are psychos. The next time you meet one and you determine that they aren’t just a Republican trying to have sex with a Democrat just mention to them “age of consent laws” and watch a small part of them die.
